LondonBristolian Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 but when will the next signing be announced? Place your bets here. Winner wins half a cornish pasty from a bin near a Greggs of their choice and whatever loose change currently resides in my back trouser pocket. I'm going to stick my neck out and say I think two names will be announced before the start of the season, the first on Friday and the second the Thursday before it all kicks off...

Red Army 75 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Whilst it is frustrating. I would rather they take their time . Keep under the radar. And hopefully get the quality players there after . Not easy getting good players to Bristol city when bigger clubs are sniffing around. Apparently FD turned down bigger offers to sign for us . I expect we're hoping the same from other players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being mean; We wait until Rovers announce "We are about to sign XXXX". City then step in, make a better offer and steal the player from under their noses. A week later, we pass him on to some other L1 club in time for him to play against Rovers in the coming season. That's an underhand & spiteful idea though and I wouldn't even dream of doing such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being able to communicate with the squad is important but you look at the value for money (or lack of) in the market for British players at the moment and it is easy to see why clubs shop abroad. To put it as simply as possible, Diedhiou only needs to be a third as good as Assombalonga in order to represent better value for money. I just don't think we can sign quality British players at an affordable price and compete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a Morrissey song but think it is actually the title of one! Edit: Googled to check: It is the song after Seasick Yet Still Docked on Your Arsenal...

Yeah, because he clearly means he want's all foreign players to leave the club. Why even come out with this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderMB Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I think we'll have to wait to see if Flint is going before another signing is announced. I assume the club has a player in their sights, but won't opt to replace Flint if he decides to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Well Johnson has said if no one else leaves he'd like to add 2 more, its not like we'll have a stream of players incoming like last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're being told Hegeler is now a CB, we already have Mags and Wright, surely they would go up the pecking order and we'd have youngsters in reserve? I'd rather we looked to spend wedge on some decent wide-men who can deliver a ball to feed out abundance of target men (Fam, Đurić, Wilbraham) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations jumping in trying to make it some sort of xenophobic issue , when you're a million miles of the mark What a clown Its quite simple - have heard a couple of managers recently discussing the issues with recruiting from abroad , as regards settling , and particularly coping with a 46 game tough , week in week out Championship But never mind - you try and stir it into something completely different, or worse than stir create a non existent issue Your post says a lot more about you than me 1 hour ago, LondonBristolian said: Personally I just hope they will be good!

In contrast - a Decent post and no doubt it's a punt between value for money against the 'risks' I've outlined to the xenophobic police above Personally I'd be concerned if we have too much of an International mix - a core of British or at least English speaking players to glue it all together for me I agree no 1 is that they are decent but they have to be able to fit in with our ever growing mix Otherwise I'd liked to have seen us targeting our recruitment to one or two countries to aid the communication in dressing room and on the pitch Save for JK our foreign recruitment is looking a bit dodgy (As it stands) ( Perhaps you'd like to read this post as well @Dollymarie before jumping ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 As long as we can agree to no Welsh players just in case there's even the slightest possibility of Adam Matthews coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were rumours about that tall lad in League 1 when Flint looked to be off to Sunderland. Personally, I'd like to see the club use our academy products, even if it means "replacing" Flint with a youngster that can play in the academy/on loan for a season before having a crack at the Championship.

LondonBristolian Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Just now, EnderMB said: It's hard to say anymore.

Personally, I'd like to see the club use our academy products, even if it means "replacing" Flint with a youngster that can play in the academy/on loan for a season before having a crack at the Championship. Indeed - I don't want Flint replaced directly if he goes. Obviously we need to keep getting in young talent that might develop but there has to be a path to the first team. If Flint goes and we sign someone else, the message is that we don't think Moore or Mags are ever going to be good enough (especially as Mags is 24). I'd rather give one of them or a Hegeler and Wright partnership a crack. I think we should be looking at upgrading on Golbourne if we can and we'd certainly need to replace Bryan if he went and I guess it would make sense to get a new young striker if we lose Engvall but I'd rather any money we got for Flint was put towards upgrading Goalkeeper, Winger and perhaps Left-Back as I think these are the areas where it is most needed.
